Learning from Gulf Cities

This exhibition is an in-progress result of the Learning from Gulf Cities initiative – a series of events in Abu Dhabi and New York that examines evolving urban dynamics in the Southern Arabian Gulf region. There are three scholarly workshops (one in New York and two in Abu Dhabi) that take up its themes. This exhibition is the basis for more extensive exhibitions planned for Abu Dhabi and then Milan.
